Stepping into the forest the ambiance of the place suited her needs just fine. Training her bloodline was something she would rather do in private. Settling down she contemplated the two remaining jutsu she had left until she could consider her bloodline mastered. After that, chakra training and she would then be well on her way to going toe to toe with Sypher. The two people in Sypher's life, those were her temporary targets. She was going to have to figure out the name of the man and information about him.
[1/6] Stretching her arms out she began her chakra training first and foremost. She didn't want to 'switch' just yet with her other self. This part of her training required that she activate a few techniques in order to practice releasing that chakra she had trained to manipulate from earlier. It was bothersome but training was always bothersome and was usually worth it in the end.
[2/6] Making the needed hand signals Aki decided she was going to go over some of her Suiton jutsu first. She would go down the list of things she had learned and would practice them all once more. Activating her chakra she summoned her more powerful versions of her clones. Two appeared to either side of her, both looking slightly disgruntled. One smiled then, waving at the other. The other scoffed and crossed her arms, looking off to the right. They were a fraction of herself...but it was still odd to see the difference in personalities amongst each other.
[3/6] Aki held in her laughter and tried not to let her other clones see her amusement. This forest was good for Aki's disposition. She was able to relax a bit more and drop her guard slightly. It was a burden off of her shoulders not to have to tip toe around on eggshells. Dismissing her clones, she moved her hands yet again, thinking up of another Suiton technique to let loose for the sake of practice.
[4/6] Holding her hands in a certain position she activated her chakra and watched with mild interest as water began to collect above her head. The water rose as the masses collected then began to shift and morph into something else. Senbon and dozens of them. They hovered above before Aki flicked her wrist outward, the senbon shooting down at her "intended target". They embedded themselves on the ground in a small 360 degree circle.
[5/6] This was her technique to keep people at a distance. She didn't need to get in close nor did she have to risk them coming in close for her to get a hit. Genjutsu was hard to set up, especially when one lacked the proper means to stave off Taijutsu and Bukijutsu users. Although this made no difference. She was just as capable of ensnaring them into her techniques.
[6/6] Genjutsu was her specialty after all. Coaxing her head to one side she considered this part of her training finished. It was a pointless exercise that she was going to have to repeat but for now he counted messing with her Suiton as finished. If she was to continue practicing Jutsu it would be with something else as her practice testing situations.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aoi entered the forest looking around at the trees. She was a fan of nature's beauty. Aoi's face held no traces emotion as she strolled along the path, but deep down, she was content, happy even. She watched squirrels scurry from the trees and listened to the birds sing with joy. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ruby had closed the distance behind her target, and was walking steadily now behind Aoi. Her footsteps weren't hidden but her cloak was up, hiding her eyes from view. She could see out from under it fairly easily but her eyes could not be looked directly into at this point. She built up her chakra to the straining point against her gates, her chakra materializing around her, rose petals floating on the wind around her, literally carried by the currents and the breeze. "Gomennasai, Aoi-kun..." She said, softly, the words floating on the breeze as well. She drew her weapon, Crescent Rose, and it unfolded as she went, aiming for a quick a painless slash through her cranium.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aoi heard footsteps behind her and turned to see who it was. "Ahh, Ruby! Have you come to take a walk with me?" She asked upon seeing the familiar clothing of her new friend. When she said they'd be meeting again, she meant it. Aoi sensed a rise in chakra coming from Ruby herself. "Why are you apologizing to me?" Aoi asked her older friend. A large scythe was unfolding in her hand as she walked. Aoi sensed a killer intent coming from Ruby as she swund the scythe at her head. Aoi ducked the scythe and jumped out of range, throwing two shuriken at her 'friend' as she did so. "W-what are you doing?" She asked. Aoi drew her katana. She didn't want to fight but would if she needed to.

Ruby didnt bother to dodge the shuriken, allowing them to plant in her midsection. She let out a squeak of pain and joy simultaneously. Though the latter coming from the pain, it could easily be misconstrued. "Completing a mission...Please know the other bears you no ill will..." She said as she closed the gap between the two of them. She wasn't going to give her room to run or get away, she kept her scythe moving, now bleeding slowly from the two shuriken planted in her body. She focused her chakra to her blood and could feel the chakra within it, though she didnt crystallize it when she could have. She just made sure that she could in the future. She didnt want to currently use the chakra. Instead she followed her friend in an attempt to fulfill her mission and end her life. After two rather quick feints that left long slices in the ground, dangerously close to her feet she brought her weapon down across her chest, a diagonal slash intent on cleaving her in two. There was a bang behind her weapons head as she squeezed the haft, an unknown force to Aoi propelling it quicker. This was to provide the necessary force behind the attack

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aoi gasped as the shuriken embedded itself in Ruby's abdomen. Aoi thought her friend would've dodged it. "Mission? Who has a mission to kill a friend?!" Aoi noted that Ruby was quick. She stepped back to get out of range. Ruby closed in fast, leaving slices in the ground. It seemed she really did mean to kill her. Ruby, although she seemed different from before, more serious, different speech pattern, and she was also very aggressive and formal. If Aoi knew better, she'd assume she was possessed. Despite how much it hurt, Aoi no longer decided to call the girl before her friend. Ruby's main attack was coming. Aoi stepped back, just in time too. A loud bang and pain blossomed across her chest, ripping her shirt and causing her to cry out in pain. Aoi closed her eyes tightly. She was having difficulties seeing from the tears. "I hate you, Ruby! I wish we had never even met! You're a terrible person!"

The other personality behind the locked door screamed for her friend to run, not to try and fight her. Meanwhile, the other noted her eyes closing, and with a quick spin, brought her weapon back across her body aiming to impact the girls weapon quite hard. Continuing her motion she brought the large lethal blade around under her guard, the tip of the scythe moving for the fleshy section under the jaw of Aoi. If the attack landed the large blade would easily rip through her skull. "It is our unfortunate fate..." She said, shutting the child aspect out from her mind once more. She didnt need the distraction.

_____❶Sweeping Block --> ( Made offensive ) - The user blocks by swinging the staff in in an arc and hitting an incoming attack. This is especially effective against Taijutsu users, as it has enough force behind it to leave significant bruises on any flesh it hits. This technique’s speed and power is only limited by the user’s, and can be used to block in any direction. It can be used to knock several projectiles from the air.
__❷Sky Lunge - The user thrusts the bladed end of the polearm toward the fleshy area under the opponent’s chin, usually coming in under the enemy’s guard. The strength of this strike is dependent on the user’s strength.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aoi was hit in the side and her weapon arm hard. The katana was sent flying out of sight and Aoi herself managed to stay standing. The girl rubbed her eyes to stop the stinging in them. Aoi sensed Ruby closing in. Aoi waited for her stop and that's when she stepped back, earning another nick on the chin. Aoi opened her eyes and brought her arms to her chest panting heavily. She was losing blood quickly and was already faint. She looked up at Ruby with a pleading look in her eye, willing her to stop.

Ruby stepped in as her arms came up, a droplet of water falling from her covered face and glinting in the light as she rammed Aoi with a shoulder, intent on knocking her to the floor. She spun as she did so, dust coming from her lead foot as her scythe went low, aiming across her stomach intent on eviscerating her only friend thus far in this life. The blade if making contact would neatly part her skin like a razor, and likely take organs with it. The severity of the wound would send her into shock, and she would likely die from her wounds before she felt pain. "Forgive me...Aoi..." She said as her scythe swung down, lightning quick.

_____❶Dismember - The user aims for one of the opponent’s joints and slices along it. Although it typically cuts through the bone, if it does not, this technique easily does significant damage to the bone. This often causes permanent damage.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aoi raised her arms up to defend against her shoulder tackle. Aoi was sent to the ground where she instinctively raised her arms to protect her face and weakly raised her legs to protect elsewhere. The blade of the scythe punctured her belly neatly and Aoi froze. She felt the pain immediately and couldn't breath. It was unbearable. Tears slid down the cheeks of Aoi. The girls eyes turned red with a black swirl, resembling a comma, in each eye. Aoi closed her eyes and screamed out in pain, wanting it to be over.

Orders orders; how Apollo loved it when a plan came together. Watching the entire scene play out from a tree above, he bent down on both knees to access the skills of Ruby first hand. Giving Zain that mission to pass off was a good way to not only see her skills, but also see how'd Aoi would respond to a quote on quote, "Friend" turning against her. One way or another, he needed data on the Sharingan and this was the easiest way to collect it. Muscled eyes surging with chakra gazed on Ruby as she made mark after mark on his little Uchiha, a smile eclipsing features whilst blonde tresses blew forth into the wind - yes, this was good. Ruby, was good. Her ability with that scythe, while the weapon itself was large, obviously stood top notch. Not only that, he could tell by muscle movements she was far more powerful than her tiny frame let on. All of this and more was enough for his decision. "She'll need a curse mark." Nodding to those words, Apollo watched the finale of it all, Aoi falling over onto her backside with many a gash; crying out for help. . and ultimately, it occurred. The realization of her Sharingan appeared with a surge of negative emotions and backlash of force. So, this was the signal then. .
". . I see. Unlike the Byakugan, the Sharingan gets signaled through emotional stress. . " The far more torn the user, the more powerful their eyes become. Nodding slowly to these thoughts, Apollo hurried off his branch across the area - arriving just in time to stop the finishing blow Ruby was to perform. His blade outward to block the slash before instantly turning. "Stand down, Ruby. You've done enough." Knowing she'd heed to him, the Otokage turned to Aoi thereafter, first grasping her face and staring directly into her eyes with his own. No doubt about it; her lineage as a Uchiha was strong. "Aoi, sleep." His genjutsu would be absolute and with it, her next actions. The little girl would conk out almost instantly in his hands and he'd move a free palm back while a funnel of extremely dark chakra compounded onto his palm. Churning with evil, as if it were a curse, Apollo thrust his arm into the girl, beginning to activate his specialized healing jutsu. Her wounds, all of them, would begin to fix themselves slowly, but surely. After a few moments, they were gone. "My my, I had a hunch something like this was what the Uchiha used to gain power, but why so sadistic? Truly a race born from troubling times~" Turning, he'd look over to Ruby.
"Your mission is finished. Good job. From here on out, you're charged with watching over Aoi Uchiha; this girl here. Keep her safe. Be her friend. Everything she'll need when she awakens. I'll be the only one she'll be completely safe around besides yourself, alright, Ruby? Now, take her to the hospital to rest up and don't let her out of your sight. . and thank you for being a well equipped shinobi." After finishing his words, Apollo handed Aoi over to the scythe wielding girl with a half smile, awaiting her response. Of course, he'd be further watching the development of these two in particular.
Seemed like a waste, in her opinion. Strike down the opponent ... it would have been easier to cut off her head than to slice her stomach. Yawning, she stretched, sitting in her tree lazily, a large black form a branch over. Malachai opened one eye, looked down at the scene, and lifted his head curiously. Injured prey? As he stood to get a closer look, Mia growled at him. The black jaguar turned his heavy head, confused, until Mia muttered,"Otogakure shinobi. We can't eat them, delicious as they look ... and that's why."
Mia extended an arm to point at the newest addition to the area - the old man she'd made a promise with. It included not attacking or eating anyone who was a resident of the village. Conveniently, though, protection only applied to residents, and there were plenty of rogue thieves that liked to come in through the jungle that had mysteriously disappeared. Mia rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck, watching and listening to everything going on below her. There was a Ruby, an Aoi, and of course Apollo. Curious. He'd sent the one on the mission to harm the other? Perhaps she could learn to like the man.
Besides her, Malachai stretched out on his branch and turned himself so that he could sleep with his head in Mia's lap. Purring softly, Mia stroked the panther's fur, her funny golden eyes still on the situation below. There was no need to go down, not without a meal to eat, though still ... it was such a waste, and maybe she could get a little lick off the wound that was already there ... Mia shook her head. Damn her and her promises. She might be a beast, but she didn't break her word. Growing up, the jaguars had rewarded loyalty in her village, and damned if she didn't keep that trait. Ah well ... perhaps someone else would sneak into her jungle tonight ...

Ruby looked to Apollo as he should up, preparing to lift her weapon once more for a decapitation. She didnt want to cause the girl pain, just complete her mission. Seems the shock didnt quite set in like shed hoped. As she tightened her grip on her weapon, the stand down order was called. She listened intently to her superior, his words alone overriding her mission. Soon she had folded her weapon up and stored it on her back, under her cloak. While he was healing her, she took a firm hold on the shuriken embedded in her abs and with a tugged yanked them free. She let one clatter to the ground, as well as the other. She would not take them, the memory of this particular scene didnt require it. Plus she had plenty of equipment as it was. It had a bit of her crystallized blood on the points that bit into her but that was he extent of the marks on the weapons. It was then that the otokage spoke. Ruby smiled at his words. She wouldnt have to hurt her again. "Hai, Otokage-dono..." She spoke simply,moving her hood down and drying her eyes with her sleeve. They werent that damp, just residual from the aspects trying to fight for control over her mind at the time. She moved and picked up the girls blade, placingit back in her sheathe before she scooped up the younger girl and lifted her like she was no more than a tiny dog. She would start walking towards the hospital now, the rose petals fading as her chakra settled.

Oh, but they'd never said anything about leftovers. With swiftness that would have seemed animalistic, Mia leapt out of the tree and snagged the two shuriken the girl was just going to drop on the ground. She just barely made it, her proximity being the only thing that saved those poor, blood encrusted shuriken ... Taking a step backwards with the two small stars in her hand, she bowed her head almost thankfully to the scythe girl (this one was Ruby, yes? Not that it mattered ..) and turned golden eyes to Apollo while the other one walked away with the injured one. Pulling herself to her height, Mia shifted her weight and cocked her hip to one side before lifting the shuriken to her mouth and flicked her tongue against the crystallized blood. Mm ..."Like candy ... "she murmured, a smile on her face. The coppery taste of metal against the steel of the shuriken wasn't as good as a fresh kill, but it was still good.
Sucking the blood off the points of the discarded weapons, she made a slow circle around Apollo before stopping in front of him, curious. She wanted to open her mouth and ask of him questions, but this one man before her, with his title and rank, was one of the things she feared most in this world. Mia was a strong hunter, a warrior, a berserker, what have you. But this man could erase her existence with a flick of the wrist, and that scared her - but damn if it didn't challenge her instincts. It was always a rush to have someone that could beat you ...
She kept quiet tho, one of the two shuriken still in her mouth. She held up the other one, clean now, and waved it at him."Finders keepers?"she asked around the weapon in her mouth.
